Rising Storm focuses on the Pacific Theater of World War 2. Players will control either the Japanese or American forces. At least four new maps are included in the expansion.

The Japanese and American troops each have their own unique strengths. The Americans have superior weaponry, including a new flamethrower. The Japnese, meanwhile, rely on special abilities like booby traps and banzai charges.

Note that the footage below is from the alpha version of the game. Expect some changes as the expansion's development proceeds. Tripwire promises additional updates in the near future.
